ApsaraDB for OceanBase:Tenant instance workspace

Background information

A tenant instance is a separate computing resource that you can obtain after a tenant is virtually isolated in a large cluster based on the unique tenant isolation technology of ApsaraDB for OceanBase. You can create a database in a tenant instance and create tables in the database to independently provide services for upper-layer apps.

2. In the left-side navigation pane, click Instances.

3. In the Instances list, click the name of the target tenant instance to go to the Tenant Instance Workspace page.

4. You can click the corresponding buttons in the upper-right corner to perform the following operations: create an account, log on to the database, and create a new database.

   • If the tenant instance is in Subscription billing mode, you can click the More icon in the upper-right corner to renew the tenant instance.

   • If the tenant instance is in Pay-As-You-Go billing mode, you can click the More icon in the upper-right corner and change the billing method to **Subscription**, or click Release to release the tenant instance.

5. In the basic information section, you can view information about the tenant instance, such as the billing method, instance type, series, mode, zone, and creation time.
